Need help with CPU's and GPU's

Closed
aCAssassin

I'm wanting to buy 2 games later on, but not sure how well they will run.

Call of Duty: Ghosts - I'm sure CoD will have a really hard time running on my PC, but I want to make sure.
Bioshock Infinite - I believe my PC can run it, but not at max settings.

My Specs:

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130801-1533)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
System Model: GA-A55M-S2V
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
Processor: AMD A6-3500 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (3 CPUs), ~2.1GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 4094MB RAM
Page File: 2427MB used, 5757MB available
Windows Dir: C:Windows
DirectX Version: DirectX 11

EDIT: Forgot to put in my graphics card. Nvidia Geforce GT 630 2GBDDR3

Thanks.

I don't think you can run Bioshock Infinite on max settings, it seems you don't have a dedicated GPU...

I'd add some cowbell too.

I dont think an integrated chip can even run Bioshock infinite at min-settings.

Looks like it might be time to upgrade friend.

Side note* I have a 670 and it ran Bioshock wonderfully.

Your CPU is always going to be lacklustre with that chipset - it's ancient. Any decent graphics card you buy will be bottlenecked by poor CPU performance.
Also, I'd recommend aiming for 8GB of RAM. 4GB is a comfortable minimum, but if you want to game, you'll want 8GB.

You also haven't given us a budget, so...

No, its not ancient at all. This is a pretty modern APU.

What an incredibly shitty benchmark that has no real results that are worth any value.

Here are some better benchmark results. They are very comparable to something similarly priced.

comparable
posts link to benchmark of the i3 considerably outstripping the AMD
Yeah... no.
Unless you can jam 2 of those APUs into your build, they're not worth the pain.

You will be able to run it fine. I suggest you take out the GT630 because APU perform will be better.

Why do you keep saying 'wat'?! It's called spamming!

Here's a video of Bioshock Infinite running on an A6-3670K. The A6-3500 has one core less and runs a little slower, but it has the same graphics core.

Ram: Upgrade to at least 6GB (Don't need higher unless you are running program's in the background)

Graphics Card: It's ok, will run both games, just not on ultra (AMD here, they are better then nVidia, in certain areas)

CPU: eww AMD (Always Intel CPU for me, way ahead of AMD)

Hard Drive: This is also another spec that can slightly affect gameplay. Higher rpm does make a difference, SSD are the best.
